June 17, 2014 at 4:25 amJim was a force to be reckoned with.
Jade would bring him to Pottery with her and all the women loved to interact with him. His job was drying paint on the pieces and we all felt he was a part of our family.
We will miss his humor,comments and smile.
His personality shined bright as he now will continue to shine in Heaven.
Rest in Peace,my friend.
We’ll keep vigilance over your “little sunshine”.

June 18, 2014 at 6:02 amI met Mr. Lilly a few times, right off the bat I knew he was an amazing person. I met him through his daughter and her friend at the time, and this was when he lived just north of Sweetwater and Scottdale Rd. He had a garage full of amazing tools, so automatically we had a bond, he was a craftsman. His garage was full of machinery that was amazing to me, and he invited me to use anything I wanted to in the garage upon meeting me for the first time. A true gentleman. Anyway, his hospitality to others was nothing short of amazing, he was a loving and giving person. His life will be remembered and lived on by his amazing daughter Jade. Both of them have made everlasting memories in my life and will always be an inspiration to me. Rest in Peace Jim, I didn’t know you very well, however, we will always remember you.
